PCT No. PCT/DE96/00626 Sec. 371 Date May 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 7, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 2, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33880 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 31, 1996In an arrangement of a vehicle auxiliary heater with an integrated regulating device in the region of the floor in the vehicle cab and a control unit remote from the auxiliary heater, e.g. in the region of the dashboard or on an inner wall of the vehicle, it is proposed that the control unit be operationally connected to the regulation device wirelessly via a bidirectional radio link in which use is made of an r.f. unit with a first r.f. module on the operating side with a transmission and reception section and a second r.f. module on the control device side with a second transmission and a reception section. This obviates the need for the complicated laying of prior art wired connections between the control unit and the regulating device of the auxiliary vehicle heater, making the heater particularly suitable for subsequent fitting in commercial vehicles.
